The "standard" install of MySQL, whether from Apple or the package, puts MySQL in its own directory under /user/local. The directory MySQL is in, is named after the version of MySQL installed. For instance, mine is:
mysql-standard-4.0.14-apple-darwin6.4-powerpc


There is also a link to that directory called "mysql". All scripts point to the mysql link, not the actual directory. This way, if you want to test out a new version of mysql, just install it and change the "mysql" link. No need to change any scripts. Of course, your databases won't carry over, but you can copy those over easily.

But, if you really won't to remove the current install of MySQL, just delete the directory in /usr/local/.

I've installed the latest MySQL from www.mysql.com to my computer, but decided later to try the Complete series of web tools to get access to Apache v2. Complete Apache v2 and Complete PHP is installed, but I have to remove the original install of MySQL to install the Complete MySQL package.

As you can guess, I have not figured out how to do this yet. I used the package version, not the tarball.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
